Last night sucked. People are pissed and they’re blaming the Biden administration and the Democrats. And I can’t say their blame is totally misplaced. The Democrats have allowed their entire agenda to be hijacked by two Senators out of 50 whose priorities are their benefactors instead of their constituents and the future of this democracy. Rather than dwell on the election disappointments, we’ll find out what’s being done to hold the insurrectionists who attacked the Capitol on January 6 accountable for their actions. The only journalist I know who’s dialing in to every hearing and reading every brief is Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net. Marcy is our guest today for most of the hour, explaining that justice moves slowly but the wheels are in motion. We’ve got to take the good news whenever we can get it! A program note: I’m taking the day off tomorrow. It’s my birthday! So a “best of” show will stream on our audio channels, but there won’t be a video feed. Any requests? Just put ’em in the comments section. Do you want news and politics, or would you rather take a musical break with one of my classic artist interviews? Let me know!
